Nerd Stuff – If you are not a nerd, you might want to skip to the bottom.
As I’ve said before, one of the neat perks of my job is getting to see all of the side projects people are working on. One of my co-workers spent a significant chunk of his time putting this together.

It’s a role-playing game set in a dark future after a portal to hell has destroyed most of civilization. So it’s basically light hearted family material. I believe the hallmark channel wants to make a movie out of it.

Non-nerd stuff:
Some people have emailed me recently over this video.

They were wondering if this was me, and in fact if this was photographic evidence of the infamous “Barbie girl dance”. This is not me, and the soldier in the video, is not, in fact, actually dancing. If anyone knows who it is, feel free to put it up in the comments section

There is, fortunately for me, no photographic proof of this dance. And it’s probably fortunate for everyone else too. Some things just shouldn’t bee seen.  And me doing that dance is like bad touch for the eyes.

I mean seriously.

I can understand that someone could look at the military and see issues that they want fixed.

And I can understand that some people don’t approve of adult images. That’s fine too.

And I’ll even, vcialis 40mg for the sake of argument, accept that there are men out there that don’t enjoy pictures of naked women. (Although we all know that there are only two kinds of men who don’t like nude women….liars and homosexuals).

But these people took a look at the military and said “Y’know what the problem is? All these people risking their lives to protect our countries and freedoms? Yeah these guys are able to look at pictures that I don’t like. We can’t have that! “

Soldiers already give up so much to protect our country. Huge amounts of time, the ability to interact with their families. And frequently their lives. These are things they have to give up in order to do their job properly.

Soldiers have to give up so much that it is just wrong to try to take anything else away from them without a good reason. National security is a good reason. Some fundamentalist with his undies in a wad is not.

Any people who take part in this attempt on our soldiers freedoms are ungrateful, selfish, conniving bastards.

If you care about soldiers issues, please be sure to contact you Representative and Senator to tell them to send these folks packing.
